Westflight Festival 2005 in Aachen


For the third time the Westflight Festival took place. More than 40.000 fans of the civil aviation pilgrimaged to Aachen, to have a look at the flight delicacies like the Swiss Airforce. The nine pilots of the PC-7-Team presented that precision work is not only a privilege of the Swiss watch maker.

Airplanes and helicopter showed a varied program on top level.

MadMikeKüng`s paragliding aerobattle show was an exceptional attraction between all the metal in the air. After his drop from UL-hangglider the public watched him very impressed. What the hell is all possible with a piece of nylon and some hundred metres of Kevlar lines. The spectators applauded with buzz when MadMike parallel to a biplane take off landed directly in front of their feet.

Special thanks to Michael Wagner from SKY-Team for the organisation and to
Axel Bannier, the ingenious UL-pilot!
